Potential Side Effects
If you experience signs of an allergic reaction to acetaminophen, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, seek emergency medical assistance immediately. While rare, acetaminophen use may lead to a severe skin reaction that can be life-threatening. If you develop skin redness, a rash that spreads and causes blistering and peeling, discontinue the use of acetaminophen and contact your doctor promptly.
Liver problems can occur as a potential side effect of acetaminophen. If you notice symptoms such as upper right-sided stomach pain, loss of appetite, tiredness, itching, dark urine, clay-colored stools, or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), stop taking acetaminophen and consult your doctor right away.
Less serious side effects may occur, and it is possible to experience no side effects at all. It is important to note that the list of side effects provided is not exhaustive, and there may be other reactions. If you encounter any adverse effects, contact your doctor for medical advice. You can also report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Precautions and Considerations
Do not take acetaminophen if you are allergic to it or if you are already taking other medications that contain acetaminophen. If you have a history of liver cirrhosis or consume alcohol daily, consult a doctor or pharmacist to determine if it is safe to use acetaminophen.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, seek medical advice before using acetaminophen.
